Rock for People has officially announced the set times and completed its international lineup for the 2026 festival, set to take place at Hradec Králové’s Park 360 from June 10 through June 14.
Bands will perform across a whopping 8 stages (including special guests performing on the Karaoke Stage each morning) — in a press release, festival organizers gave a piece of advice: “get your shoes really comfortable, because we’ll be running from one stage to the next.” And after having a look at the schedule ourselves, we completely agree.
Music starts bright and early on Wednesday, June 10, with a surprise guest performance on the Karaoke Stage — the festival brings a surprise guest, often an artist already playing at the festival, to the Karaoke Stage at 10:10 each morning to kick things off in the campground.
We Came As Romans will be the first international band to kick things off on Wednesday at 12:50pm on the Rock for People Stage. Sets by Nevertel, VOILÀ, The Pretty Reckless, and more are peppered throughout the afternoon and evening before Gorillaz‘ headlining performance at 9:30pm. The night will end with Joey Valence & Brae starting at 12:30am.
On Thursday, June 11, music starts shortly after 11am with an opening set by Thornhill, followed by Set It Off, Breaking Benjamin, All Time Low, BABYMETAL, Papa Roach, and more before Limp Bizkit headlines the night starting at 9:30pm. The All-American Rejects will perform directly after the headliner, and the night will end around 1:30am with a set by Gleb, a burlesque show, and an afterparty.
Local celebrations will kick off on Friday, June 12, shortly after 11am, with South Arcade being the first international performance beginning at 12:30pm. Sets by Basement, Trash Boat, Bilmuri, Tom Morello, and many more will play leading up to Bring Me The Horizon‘s headlining set at 9:45pm, with Three Days Grace directly following.
Saturday, June 13, will open with local Czech and Slovak bands along with some slam poetry. The afternoon is absolutely stacked, with sets by Bury Tomorrow, Alessi Rose, Don Broco, PRESIDENT, blackbear, and many more before Halsey takes the headlining stage at 10:10pm. Her set will be followed by performances from Holywatr, ALT BLK ERA, and others, with the night ending around 3am with some DJ sets.
Hollow Suns will open things up on Sunday, June 14, at 10:10am. More energy will pick up around 12:30pm, with the lineup featuring many Czech and Slovak bands that have risen to prominence within the local scene. The Molotovs will kick the afternoon off at 1:10pm, followed by sets from Loathe, Militarie Gun, Knocked Loose, Sleep Theory, and more leading up to Iron Maiden‘s headlining set at 8:40pm. Music will end around midnight.
Based on this schedule, the festival promises to be packed full of energy, and we can’t wait to step foot on the festival grounds this year. In addition to the schedule, Rock for People has added 16 new names to its international lineup and announced a few changes to the day breakdown as well as a few cancellations, the details of which can be found below.
